33-11 82nd Street #51, Jackson Heights, NY 11372

Description

Set within Laurel Court, the first apartment building complex constructed in Jackson Heights in 1914, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree and modern comfort. Perfectly positioned on 82nd Street between Northern Boulevard and 34th Avenue, the building’s location reflects its storied past. Northern Boulevard was once the only road leading into Jackson Heights, making Laurel Court a true cornerstone of the neighborhood’s history.

This updated two-bedroom, easily convertible to three, cooperative apartment sits on the top floor of a classic walk-up and is filled with prewar charm. Soaring ceilings, beautifully preserved oak hardwood floors with mitered decorative corner joints, and original chestnut doors with glass doorknobs create a timeless, elegant atmosphere throughout. The formal dining room is a standout, featuring handsome wainscoting with a pronounced chair rail, ideal for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The windowed, eat-in kitchen offers two full-size windows with north and east exposures, custom cabinetry, and abundant storage, making it as functional as it is inviting. The front room is generously proportioned and can easily serve as a primary bedroom. Three side-by-side windows frame sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, while afternoon light pours in, filling the space with warm orange and golden hues that change beautifully with the day. A rare opportunity to own a top-floor home in one of Jackson Heights’ most historically significant buildings, this apartment delivers character, light, and flexibility in a setting that simply cannot be replicated.

The Laurel Court is conveniently located within the renowned Jackson Heights Historic District and near the Victor A. Moore Bus Terminal, the 7, E, F, M and R trains at 74th Street and Roosevelt Avenue, all types of shopping and blocks from Travers Park, 34th Avenue Open Streets and the Jackson Heights Greenmarket on Sundays.
